After living in Kentucky for two seasons in a rented house, we bought our own place just before Christmas: a 1930s Cape Cod. I may be biting off more than I can chew, but time will tell. I plan to put 20 tomato plants in the ground, 8 tomato plants in pots on my deck. I've also got pots on...
I'm growing 18 plants this year. 13 in the ground, and 5 in pots on our deck. We moved over the winter so this is new ground with new conditions. I was in a community plot the last three seasons. This year, I am growing in my back yard. Learning a lot while trying some new to me ideas in...
My wife got me hooked on growing tomatoes after we got married. She convinced me to grow a few plants behind our garage so I could have a few BLT. They were the round and red varieties back then that I picked up as seedlings from a big box store. The interest has now expanded to growing...
There was a guy that I went to high school with that wore his button-down shirts with the top two buttons undone and the collar pulled backwards to the point that the third button would be just below his Adam's apple where the second button should be. The top button that most people button to...
I believe there may be hope for the younger generation. My 3rd Grade niece insists on dressing "business casual" for school. When I was in 3rd Grade, I wore jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers, and so did all of the girls. It wasn't until about 5th Grade that girls started taking things to another...
Thomas Jefferson may have supported true alloidal ownership of the land, and he likely had those that agreed with him in attendance, but Thomas Jefferson was NOT at the Constitutional Convention. He was the Ambassador to France representing these united States of America under the Articles of...
I think the garden variety thief could care little for your hat box. In fact, if one were to steal your bicycle, they might take the extra few seconds to reduce the encumberance of the hat box and leave it behind. My great-grandfather told me that locks, chains, and cables only keep honest...
The police were never able to figure out who did it. There were no rumours as to who might have done it, and no evidence of any one with a silver fur handbag or wrap observed locally. I have my suspicions, but no evidence. Our lease is up 31 December, and we ARE moving by then. If I don't...
Some sicko abducted my cat and skinned her just like that. I can only assume that they did some thing similar to her pelt. She had a beautiful silver coat.
I was that way when I was first issued my iPhone. I was fascinated with just how functional the silly thing was. Every time it shook, I thought I just had to check my e-mail. I got to the point on the weekends where I would purposely run the battery dead. Nope. I don't miss my iPhone, and I...
The Bluetooth headsets remind me of Lobot from Cloud City in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
I was a little nervous this past week, with all of my traveling, that I'd go into withdrawal after having to return my iPhone to my former employer. Other than wanting to check my e-mail after...
Yes, I still send Christmas cards. Since I have a cousin living at the US embassy in Malaysia, I got my Christmas cards early so that she would receive hers before Christmas. If I didn't already have lots of cards already, these would have been great. Maybe next year?
You are correct. Rockefeller was always an oil man. My mistake. I am sorry. Carnegie was the railroad guy. He got into steel to make sure that he had material for rails. I some times get the details about Rockefeller and Carnegie confused. Rockefeller was the rabid Baptist, while I...
The irony is that Rockefeller was really a railroad guy that assembled Standard Oil to provide fuel for his locomotives and oil and grease to lubricate every thing else.
I've recently been to Texas and Georgia. Lots of Texacos there. I had thought the brand gone, but now know that they just have fewer of them. I still remember when overnight all of the Texacos where I lived switched to being Shells.
I can guarantee you that things have changed a lot since 1981. While the store brands vary from supplier to supplier and two bottles with the same store brand can be very different formulas. When it comes to national brands, they are all different in some form or fashion. Kraft mayonnaise is...
The phone company installed a box on the exterior of the house. I ran a length of line from the box and then punched a hole through the side of the house. I set up a jack and connected one phone there. The rest of the phones in my house are connected through Easy Jacks. Not always reliable...
